[SPEAKER_07]: Michael Mera, Radio Entertainment.

[SPEAKER_07]: You can listen to the Michael Mera Show at MichaelMeraShow.com.

[SPEAKER_07]: Wow, what have we here?

[SPEAKER_08]: It's a podcast.

[SPEAKER_08]: But I want to excitement.

[SPEAKER_08]: We have today.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's the Michael Mera Show with Michael Mera and Rob Spuac.

[SPEAKER_07]: Now here's Mike.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hi, everybody.

[SPEAKER_04]: Happy Thursday on the Michael O'Mara show.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, if you listen to yesterday's show, you will know that I was giving the boys a very, very hard time about the choice of title for their movie show.

[SPEAKER_04]: Now, to the best of my knowledge, you were putting one in the can yesterday, and you were actually going to be doing it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Did you do the movie show yesterday?

[SPEAKER_04]: Josh?

[SPEAKER_04]: We did.

[SPEAKER_04]: It turned out great.

[SPEAKER_04]: Now, why did you defer to Josh?

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, because he's part of it, too.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I wanted to sort on it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but Mike, and I said we're something might have happened.

[SPEAKER_10]: No, yeah, something did happen.

[SPEAKER_10]: We put together a great episode.

[SPEAKER_03]: We did go with the original title, Mike.

[SPEAKER_03]: We went with Nick's.

[SPEAKER_03]: We went with Nick's, I mean, I think you would.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I thought about it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that's.

[SPEAKER_10]: But now that can be changed too.

[SPEAKER_10]: And Mike, I'm excited to hear what you put together because I got lots of things from listeners and they clearly all went to AI and they all sucked.

[SPEAKER_04]: All right, so this is the title of the show.

[SPEAKER_04]: So let me tell you something.

[SPEAKER_04]: I went this morning because I was time constrained.

[SPEAKER_04]: I went to AI and then I looked at the I asked for 10 from AI and I looked at all 10 and there was the germ of one at the beginning and the rest of them sucked.

[SPEAKER_04]: So I said, I don't need AI.

[SPEAKER_04]: I can do this myself.

[SPEAKER_10]: The other thing I did is I went to Apple Podcast and I searched for movie podcasts and saw how lame

[SPEAKER_04]: All right, so I don't know if these if you'll think these are lame as well, but I just put them down here.

[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah, the title yesterday was my whole point of view on that was just it's not a name that'll get noticed.

[SPEAKER_04]: It does it's confusing.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's a headline from what do you want to get noticed?

[SPEAKER_04]: uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh... uh

[SPEAKER_10]: that I edited out all Rob's mistakes in the name during the podcast.

[SPEAKER_04]: Getting used to it, but I will hit it, did he hit it a lot?

[SPEAKER_04]: Because he does that.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's, that's his rebellion, right?

[SPEAKER_10]: I think when we came back from break, it was two mistakes, and then another time you got it right.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, exactly.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that.

[SPEAKER_04]: that's another element to it that I didn't even consider that it's a it's unrewarding rub when you when you say it it was when I say it right it's very rewarding to me because I got it right that's a reward no but I'm saying you didn't get it right yeah but when I finally did it was great

[SPEAKER_10]: But when you hear the AI voiceover, it's perfect.

[SPEAKER_04]: It is only good.

[SPEAKER_04]: Here we go.

[SPEAKER_04]: I get you want me to go 10 to one or one to 10.

[SPEAKER_04]: It is only good. [SPEAKER_04]: Here we go. [SPEAKER_04]: I get you want me to go 10 to one or one to 10. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, 10 to one, absolutely. [SPEAKER_04]: 10 to one. [SPEAKER_04]: All right. [SPEAKER_04]: Here we go. [SPEAKER_04]: Number 10, ghosts of pictures passed. [SPEAKER_03]: That's not bad, but it's too scary. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not really the theory of the show. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a horror movie. [SPEAKER_04]: This is not related to movies, but it is. [SPEAKER_04]: And it's not. [SPEAKER_04]: So that means you might kind of the refreshment stand. [SPEAKER_03]: doesn't really explain anything about what we're doing. [SPEAKER_10]: Then we are next spin off about movie candy. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we can do a candy. [SPEAKER_04]: You want those next one, you want to like the next one. [SPEAKER_04]: All right. [SPEAKER_04]: But see, I'm trying to evoke a memory of days gone by, where I would like to the cinema. [SPEAKER_04]: The number eight is the sticky floor. [SPEAKER_03]: That's a different podcast, Mike. [SPEAKER_03]: Probably different kind of theater. [SPEAKER_03]: But no, I don't think that suits us. [SPEAKER_04]: Next one's very simple. [SPEAKER_04]: And these are not AI, so they are mine. [SPEAKER_04]: Robin Josh's movie house. [SPEAKER_04]: How do you spell house? [SPEAKER_04]: Number six is nostalgic projections. [SPEAKER_04]: Too many syllables, I think. [SPEAKER_04]: OK. [SPEAKER_04]: Number five. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm a stouter. [SPEAKER_04]: The movie machine. [SPEAKER_04]: Like George Michael's movie machine, no, that was the sports machine, but I didn't even think of George Michael when I did Okay, but see now when you do that Rob's P wax movie machine Rob's movie. [SPEAKER_04]: See, and that's fine if you want Rob's P wax movie machine. [SPEAKER_03]: That's that's I that, you know, Cators to my ego by putting my name in the title. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, you're in a couple of them. [SPEAKER_04]: But I do have a bunch of movie houses. [SPEAKER_04]: All of them love Rob's B-Wax movie machine. [SPEAKER_03]: Movie machine is the best one that's far, so that's fine. [SPEAKER_04]: And by the way, you can put Rob and Joshua, Rob's B-Wax on all these. [SPEAKER_04]: OK. [SPEAKER_04]: So let's try Rob's B-Wax retro reels. [SPEAKER_04]: That's very out there. [SPEAKER_10]: That's very common. [SPEAKER_10]: When I saw when I was looking at movie podcasts. [SPEAKER_04]: But I did not use AI on that. [SPEAKER_04]: That's all right. [SPEAKER_04]: All right, so here we go. [SPEAKER_04]: Robin Josh front row center. [SPEAKER_03]: No, because you don't sit front row center at a movie theater, you want to be in the eighth row. [SPEAKER_04]: That's your totally f-ed up brain that people never go into a theater and you see where people gather, they gather in the center, but the front row is probably right, but I mean, it's a, it's a fictitious term front row center. [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's more, I think it's more staged. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, almost staged. [SPEAKER_03]: That's fine. [SPEAKER_04]: I accept that. [SPEAKER_04]: Number two, the projection room. [SPEAKER_03]: That's the second best one I think, but also it's too generic. [SPEAKER_03]: It's very generic. [SPEAKER_10]: It makes me wonder what goes on in the projection room. [SPEAKER_04]: And number one, the old soul movie show. [SPEAKER_03]: No, because that doesn't, that doesn't convey what we're doing of me bringing in a new soul to the movies. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, it doesn't convey the same thing as sticks, picks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, nicks, [SPEAKER_04]: We return to us, yeah, we turn the on the on the on the on the on the on the on the on the on the on the YouTube link later. [SPEAKER_04]: Um, I thought I'd start like because it is a it's a weird weird day in and yes today the The news of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was all over the place and I. [SPEAKER_04]: sometimes don't understand my own feelings and why I feel a certain way, but I was not as much sad yesterday as I was pissed. [SPEAKER_04]: I could tell. [SPEAKER_04]: I think a lot of people, I was in an absolutely I apologize to my family last evening. [SPEAKER_04]: I was out of sorts. [SPEAKER_04]: I was not myself. [SPEAKER_04]: I was not feeling good. [SPEAKER_04]: I felt [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, all day even before this happened, I felt weird about everything. [SPEAKER_04]: I think I put it in my show prep yesterday where I forgot Rob, I referenced something about it. [SPEAKER_03]: It's all built, you said it's all BS. [SPEAKER_04]: That was all BS. [SPEAKER_04]: And it is all BS. [SPEAKER_03]: And you know, I think we all, you and I, I think are always a little off center at this time anyway because of 9, 11. [SPEAKER_03]: That anniversary never escapes me. [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe that's it. [SPEAKER_04]: I sometimes know that when my father passed away, I caught myself like two, three years down the road, having a really melancholy day and then it would dawn on me. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's why my mom the same way. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: 9-11 might have something to do with it because if you live under Iraq, you would know this, but if you've listened for a while, you'd know that Robin, I were both in New York City on 9-11. [SPEAKER_04]: Yesterday, the irony of the murder of Charlie Kirk was that he was in the middle of talking about guns when it happened. [SPEAKER_04]: So I'll bring people up, we'll have this in the news, but Charlie Kirk was known for going on college campuses and engaging in political discussions and issues discussions and then in many cases, issues debates. [SPEAKER_04]: And he was a polarizing guy. [SPEAKER_04]: He was a controversial figure. [SPEAKER_04]: And I think maybe like a lot of people, as soon as I became aware of his age, 31, and then his marital status, married with two babies, it's just, you know, I don't know where we're going, but I feel as though we are [SPEAKER_04]: we are so broken and we are so messed up, you know, this has so many different layers to it. [SPEAKER_04]: They tried to have a moment of silence on the house floor and that devolved because, you [SPEAKER_04]: people like and I'll give her an example of people like Lauren Bobbert. [SPEAKER_04]: I really think deep in her heart. [SPEAKER_04]: She does not think in any other terms but gaining more attention. [SPEAKER_04]: And she kind of precipitated that by taking it further to have a prayer on the house floor. [SPEAKER_04]: Here it is. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't care and I said this on my post last night. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't care if you love the guy, if you hated the guy, if you're from the left, if you're from the right. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, no one deserves that unless you're a convicted murderer and you're sentenced to death and then you could make a case for him not deserving it either that we're more involved. [SPEAKER_04]: We're not evolved. [SPEAKER_04]: We've devolved over the last 15, 20 years. [SPEAKER_04]: It's been steady, it's been relentless. [SPEAKER_04]: And yesterday, I just felt angry all day at this news. [SPEAKER_04]: And then when I put the post down, [SPEAKER_04]: It astonished me and my post was essentially what I'm saying here that no one deserves this, you know, the bot
